Small, predominantly white town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mtns., 20 years ago, they said they weren’t interested in crafting ideas for the young ppl. They really meant young BLKPOC. A lotta millionaires who send their kids away & the kids don’t come back unless they FUC up. It was suggested a CNA program for example which BLKPOC females show up more for. Nope, nope. Bad idea they said. Just because the nursing homes are full w/ a rapidly aging, sickly population there’s no reason to take preemptive measures.” There is a waiting list for homes aka sanitariums so they started a 2 week CNA program. So, anywho, I tried a garden, in containers to transplant, organic soil/fertilizer, bottled water in March, inside initially. By May I started rain water instead. Out of 70 plants (organic green onions, kale, spinach, Arugula, gourd, cantaloupe, watermelons, etc)., I gave up last week when frost hit. A neighbor tried corn again. Every bit of it burned. The U.S states 70% of the government corn crops burned....nobody else got anything either as evidenced by lack of shoppers at the outdoor veggie market & flea market...You know they don't accept food stamps & the majority of whites aren't working. 99.9% of the ppl walking I see on foot are white. BLKPOC know the routine & already made arrangements!😂
